(Elena P.O.V)
I get there 15 minutes too early, which is good I wouldn’t want to be late for my job interview. I walk up to the desk and state my name, the receptionist says that I have to go to the highest floor where I will have to report myself to the CEO’s secretary.
The elevator ride is long and boring, there are a lot of people there and I got various curious stares. When I finally reach the top floor I see that I’m not the only one interviewed today, there are at least another 10 women sitting on the couches waiting until they are called up I assume. They are all like 25 and they are caked in make-up and wearing super slutty clothes.
I walk up to the receptionist and state my name, again. She looks at me with a genuine smile.
“Ah yeah Miss Dawson, glad you could come, I’m rooting for you.” She says while giving me a wink. She says the last part in a whisper. “You can take a seat on one of the couches; your name will be called up later.
“Okay thank you.” I was a little bit wielded out to be the part of rooting for me, I have no idea why she said that it’s not like it’s a competition. And if it would I wouldn’t stand a chance against them, I took the liberty of looking up the CEO and he’s quite the player, I’m guessing he’s going to go for hot and not the brains, even though the civil engineer is going to work on a completely different floor. And don’t forget the fact that I still have to finish college.
I walk to the couch and take a seat near a bimbo who was busy doing makeup, she looks me up and down and then makes a disguised face towards me. I just shake my head and ignored her. I saw a business magazine in selves and take one from it and start reading the magazine while waiting for my turn to be interviewed.
I was startled when I heard someone slam the door look one of the bimbos walked out of the door while stomping her foot on the floor and walking out of there while murmuring to herself. I decided to close the magazine and watch them and enjoyed it while it lasts.
Another bimbo comes out of here shouting that the CEO doesn’t know how to recognize a talented person and how he going to regret not recruiting her. I bit my lips to stop laughing out loud at them. It goes the same way for some time bimbo coming out crying and cursing the CEO and walking out of the office.
Well, I guess he has some talent to know who to recruit and who to not otherwise he wouldn’t be there where he is now. My thoughts were interrupted by the receptionist
“Elena Dawson.” I heard somebody say interrupting my thoughts. “Please trough here.” The receptionist says.
I walk through big oak doors into a really big nice office, inside is the Devil that’s what I revere to him now since almost every woman got out of that office crying and with smudged lipstick. I look around the office in awe, everything is black white, and grey.
“You like it?” I hear the devil says.
“Yeah it’s nicely furnished,” I say.
“Thanks, I did it myself.” He says with humor in his voice. To this, I just shake my head and look down.
“Take a seat.” He says while pointing to a big leather chair in front of his desk. I take a seat with gratitude, not wanting to stand anymore.
“I’m Xavier A Mcknight, the CEO of this company. But I’m guessing you already knew that you look like a girl who researches things before she steps into an office building.”
“Yes, I did sir,” I answer him back trying to be as polite as I can.
“Good because you are the only one that did, that makes you a step ahead of the rest. So you had an internship here about two months ago how did you experience that?” He asks me.
“It was a wonderful experience sir, I get to learn a lot from here,” I said to him.
“Why did you want to do the job in this company? Many companies would like to hear from you and pay more than why this company?”
“I have done my internship here, I am familiar with the company and the people working here, plus it also provided good opportunities to explore the efficiency of the employee, and it has a high growth rate in the company, I said smiling at him.”
“I must say I am impressed Miss Dawson, so would you like to work for us?” he asks me.
“Omg- I mean yes I would very much like that, but what about the other woman I’m aren’t they way more qualified” I let the meaning of that hang in the air for a little bit before I continued “And I still have about a year more to go before I’m done with my study.
“I’m sure that they are way less qualified than you are, believe me when I say Miss Heide that for once I don’t want a woman for the beauty I need somebody for the brains, and well you kind of got a good body as well. And for the study part, I’m sure that my company can work something out.”
“But there are more than enough men that do this job, that can work right now, why hire me?”
“Well we need some balance on the work floor, we need more women in the engineering department, so we can wait we have the time and you are very qualified. So if you would like you to have the job. When you are done with your study we will move you to America and provide you with an apartment if necessary.”
“Well first off all I want to say thank you for this opportunity, and second off all I would be honored to get a job like that,” I say
“Well then we got a deal, I’ll give you the contract to read through and I will show you the door.” And together we walk to the door of his office I shake his hand and I feel a jolt of electricity run threw my body and look at his face for his reaction but his face was emotionless so I composed myself and take my hand away from him. He opens the door for me I walk out and he closes it behind me.
“Tell the rest of the girls they can leave we got the spot filled.” The secretary smiles lovingly at me and gives me a thumbs up. I get some death glares from the other job applicants.
Mr. Mcknight walks with me towards the elevator and waves me off, I waved back and see the door get closed and I did a victory dance until I reach the ground floor. I press my finger on my clothes to make myself look presentable and walk out of there, I can’t wait to share this news with Oliver.
